Yes! Palestinians are subjected to the most humiliating racist policies which indeed
deny their very humanity.
Their houses are bulldozed, they have to travel on seperate streets,
and the simplest travel is made absolutely intolerable by
check points and arbitrary harrassment.
And of course systematic murder by the Israeli state in the name of
stopping "terror."
All this Islamic fundamentalism is an outgrowth of that apartheid oppression,
not the cause of it.
Nice to see an article that's not "explaining" Israel's war crimes a la
the Washington Post, and The New York Times.
Thanks
And yes, young men trained to direct traffic killed without warning by F 16s
and drone guided missiles (courtesy the USA)
are not "combatants"
So the deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan that the Bush administration is directly responsible for don't count? Not to mention the countless victims of Israel –who are given billions in military aid to terrorize the Lebanese and their prisoners, ahem, subjects the Palestinians with F16s, phosphorous, and Apache helicopters? What about the ultimate cost of creating chaos in this part of the world?
I think destroying Iraq's infrastructure and mass murder is a more grievous crime than neglecting US highways for example.
